Mark Tremonti is a busy man. The longtime PRS Guitars endorsee and signature artist has only just finished wrapping up the fifth Tremonti record, Marching In Time, and he’s already in the process of switching gears for early work on the next Alter Bridge album. “It’s almost like the sessions never stop,” he says, speaking from his home studio, where stacks and stacks of pedals are neatly lined out on the many shelves behind him.
The newest effort from the Tremonti band, in which he sings while sharing guitar duties with Eric Friedman, packs in plenty of the metallic crunch out of which he’s built a magnificent career. And though his recorded output in this group has almost caught up with his main band – at least in terms of albums released – he admits there has been a small amount and [third album] ,” he says. “I kinda think of those two as one record, because it was really just one long recording session. So this feels more like our fourth album, at least in terms of the workload.”
